Randomly missing the favorite web sites that I saved. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? At first I thought that I was loosing my mind but then I noticed that it's happening more often lately. Could it be that I might have some sort of virus? I'm using MS IE. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm running Windows ME. To shut down I use start-shutdown. I get a message saying something like 'windows is shutting down'and then the monitor would go blank. However, the box would still be on. Pushing the power button doesn't do anything. I have to physically...

Well, now that Netzero went bust, I need to find a new isp. I'm looking for something "cheap" and "reliable", if there is such thing. Free would even be better! Anyway, I would like to get inputs from you all. BTW, I live in northern Virginia.

I'm thinking about buying a retail PIII 700E and overclocking it. I'm getting Asus CUSL2-C and Mushkin Rev 3 as well. Realistically, do I stand a good chance of hitting 933MHz to 1GHz with this cpu? I really don't want to spend $60 more for a pretested one(OEM) plus another $30 for...

Could someone please tell me if my motherboard (Asus P3BF) supports this drive? Thanks!
